A Eugene resident who became the state’s only woman on death row for torturing, starving and killing her teen daughter has been resentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Angela McAnulty, now 51, previously pleaded guilty to — and was convicted of — aggravated murder in the death of her 15-year-old daughter, Jeanette Maples. The emaciated girl was found unconscious in a bathtub in 2009 and died later that night.

McAnulty was sentenced to death in the case, one of the most notorious in modern Oregon history.

The Oregon Supreme Court, which automatically reviews death sentences, affirmed McAnulty’s conviction in 2014. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review her case.

New attorneys appointed to review McAnulty’s case filed a claim in 2016 for post-conviction relief, saying her initial two lawyers inadequately represented her.

A judge decided in July 2019 that McAnulty’s guilty plea should be vacated and the case returned to Lane County Circuit Court. The judge ruled her attorneys didn’t use reasonable skill and judgment in advising her to plead guilty without concessions from the state, among other failings.

The Oregon Department of Justice appealed, and McAnulty’s attorneys cross appealed.

Also in 2019, Gov. Kate Brown signed Senate Bill 1013, which narrows the definition of aggravated murder — the only crime in Oregon eligible for a death sentence.

Aggravated murder is now limited to those who kill two or more people as an act of organized terrorism; kill a child younger than 14 intentionally and with premeditation; kill another person while locked in jail or prison for a previous murder; or kill a police, correctional or probation officer.

A settlement in McAnulty’s case was ratified last week.

“In summary, the settlement agreement provides that the sentence of death is vacated, and Angela McAnulty is sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole,” Patty Perlow, Lane County District Attorney, said in a statement Monday. “Both parties dismiss their appeals in the Oregon Court of Appeals, and Angela McAnulty agrees ‘she will never attempt to challenge in any court her aggravated murder conviction or the stipulated true-life sentence.’”

Jeanette’s stepfather, Richard McAnulty, pleaded guilty in 2011 to murder by abuse for his role in the death and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of release after 25 years.
